Festivals

A festival is not one concert. Three days, forty bands, four stages running at once — and by Sunday nobody remembers which sets they actually stood through and which ones they only meant to see. Logging a festival as a single entry throws away the part worth keeping.

On Gigvault every festival edition carries its lineup band by band. You tick the sets you caught, and each one counts as its own entry: the band lands in your seen-bands list, the songs land in your stats, and the clash you lost stays out of your history because you were not there.

Set by set, every edition

Editions are kept per year, so the 2019 lineup stays the 2019 lineup. You can also see which friends caught the same set out of a crowd of thousands.

Why the lineup matters more than the ticket

Years later, the festival name tells you almost nothing. You remember there was a weekend in a field in 2018; you do not remember that the band you now love was on the second stage at four in the afternoon and you watched twenty minutes of them on the way to somewhere else. A lineup you ticked at the time keeps that.

It also fixes the arithmetic. People who track festivals as one entry undercount their concert history badly — a single weekend can be twelve sets. Counted properly, a festival regular's numbers look very different, and so does the list of bands they can honestly say they have seen live.

Start with the last one you went to

Open the edition, tick the sets you remember, and add the rest as they come back to you. It is free forever, with no credit card.
